When Manan eventually co-founded Decisive Zone, he brought that same boots-on-the-ground mindset into a complex and fast-growing business setup industry. He wasn’t satisfied with just managing—he was deeply involved in sales, finance, HR, marketing, and client servicing. Every obstacle, from rejections to financial loss, was treated not as a setback, but as paid tuition for the next chapter. His ability to adapt, learn quickly, and never shy away from hard work is what has made him an operational force and a trusted name in the MENA business ecosystem.

​

Through the years, Manan’s leadership has remained steady, practical, and people-first. He believes that titles may earn you recognition, but it’s execution that earns you trust. His story is not just about entrepreneurship—it’s about ownership, resilience, and showing up every day, no matter how difficult the path. He didn’t wait for the perfect opportunity. He created momentum by doing the work, one decision at a time. That’s the essence of Manan Shaikh.
